In the finished games section why is there not a cancelled games option?
there is a drawn and won option, it is not fair to leave out the cancelled games. (And yes, i am stupid)

I can't take these $%#$%^& public games.
So I just started playing on this site, having not really played any Dip since some PBEM a number of years ago. I joined one game as a replacement, and started two others from scratch. All three games have been horribly imbalanced due to leavers, NMRs, and suspected metagaming. How do I get in some games with reliable people? These public ones just aren't worth my time.

Epic Rap Battle of Online Diplomacy Sites
Anyone has any rapping talent and can put together a youtube video for us? Could it be used as a means to advertise webdip online? Ideas/opinions?

I'm willing to try different things. Abge was telling me that if we have more people going to F2F tournies and advertising us, we would grow pretty quickly. One potential way for us is to maybe create "webDiplomacy.net: Free online Diplomacy site" business cards and hand them out at tournies. I thought the video idea might have some youtube traction.
ghug (5068 D(B))

I've already got the sick beat, goldie. Keep up.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

We definitely need more webDippers at F2F events. We have a few going to Temple, which I'm very excited about. Business cards may be a bit...much...but be sure to make sure people know you're representing webDip!

Is the immediate goal to grow the site?

T-shirts would be pretty cool.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))

I'll make/hand out business cards at Templecon if I can get them shipped in time. If not at other F2F.

Tshirts would be cool.

Sure, one immediate goal is to grow the site. We are seeing healthy signs on a number of site indicators and I want to see an increase in users, games, and quality. I think an infusion of some quality F2F players would do wonders to our site.

For business cards, I think something elegant and simple would be best. Something like:

webDiplomacy.net

I'd love to see some of the site indicators (if they'd mean anything to me). Let us know how awesome we are.

Yes, jmo it is a joke. I mean who the hell trusts ghug to make a rap beat? Seriously. #fuckghug

We're giving the job to Hellenic Riot. Had to toss his first draft because it ended up being more about cooking and banging women than diplomacy. Could've been some metaphor, but probably not.

You can personalize them by writing your webDip handle too so they know who to stab back!

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize all the centers you ever wanted. one moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Yo

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to dish stabs,
But he keeps on forgetting what he worked out,
The white press gets so loud
He opens the game tab, but his internet signal's out
He's choking how, everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up, over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Newbie, he NMR'd
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that but he's out
He's so stagnant, he knows
When he goes back to the game lobby, that's when it's
Back to the lab again, yo
This whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

You better lose yourself in diplomacy, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to solo
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

(tweaking Eminem, of course)
I really love this website.
Now what you hear is not a test
I'm rappin' on a fleet
And we, will move, from Edinburgh
To Norwegian Sea

You see I, Am, Con-ser-va-tive
When I play Big E
Not to Blue not to Brown not to Green not to Red but to Russia
Do I go

A bang bang, a convoy to the Norway
Soon to move on, old St. P,
Looks like F and G want to do, a Western T

Now, so, far, you've heard my voice, but I brought two friends along,
And next on the board is my man France, so come on, man. Sing that song.
Lol, I lost the rhyme scheme halfway through. Needs work.
This here's a jam for all the fellas
Tryin to do what strategy articles tell us
Get shot down cause ya over-zealous
Too big, too fast the other powers get jealous
Okay smarty go to a WTA
It’s Spring oh-one and you’re ready to play
Your neighbors send press, you wish you could guess right
But you're sitting on the fence like you was uptight
Next year’s chaos, GR payoff
Opportunity knocks, but you took the day off
Deadline’s coming up, people enter their moves
Your DMZ breach really spoiled the mood
Everybody’s talking, guys start gawking
You ask for help, but your ally’s balking
Here’s your chance, work that gift of gab
So come on player and just bust a stab

What is the most ridiculous opening that you've seen go on to success? I'm talking Turkey not taking Bulgaria in the spring, England not entering any seas, etc - where a player (deliberately or otherwise) handicaps themselves. And then goes on to pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Possible cheaters
I suspect 2 guys are cheating. One's good and the other's new. In the game I'm talking about one of them is supporting another to win EVEN THOUGH that'll mean that person will lose and the other will get a solo win. I did some digging and found that in another game they're playing as France and England. They are obviously allied in this game too. SOOO without further ado, if that's how ado is spelled, how do I report these bastards?
